Thomas Kinkade

There could be a lot said about 'ol Tommy boy but I won't go into all of it here. Really I just wanted to say that I think his paintings display an amazing misuse of energy. Every one of those windows are lit up. Now if they are using electricity then they must have buried lines because you never see them. And if they are using candles then they are using an enormous amount of them to generate this much light. Also, several of the cute little homes in these paintings have more than one chimney (like the one above), which based on their location, I would say that those homes are really energy inefficient. Another explanation for all the light in the windows could be that all the homes are on fire. That would explain the “extra” smoke that I’ve seen in some of the paintings.
